When Does the Shooting Begin?

When Does the Shooting Begin?

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Each time Republicans do something Democrats do not like, Democrats escalate their rhetoric. The right is not immune from this, but the right is in power right now, so conservatives have less with which to drive fear.

After the Southern Poverty Law Center declared the Christian based Family Research Council a hate group intent on harming gay rights, Floyd Lee Corkins walked into the Council’s offices with Chick-fil-A sandwiches and a gun intent on murdering the employees and stuffing their mouths with the sandwiches. Also a fan of the Southern Poverty Law Center and its anti-Christian and anti-Republican rhetoric, James Hodgkinson took seriously the Democratic and progressive left rhetoric that Republicans would kill people by repealing the Affordable Care Act. He drove to a baseball field and attempted a mass assassination of Republican members of Congress.

Both men had serious mental issues. But both were provoked by extreme rhetoric from the left.

Progressives once claimed Republicans were racist. Now they claim Republicans are racist killers who need to be stopped. According to Democrats, Republicans attempted to kill people through passing tax cuts, repealing Obama era net neutrality regulations, merely considering the repeal of Obamacare and now by the president nominating Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

We are already at a point where progressive protestors are showing up at the homes of Trump administration employees. White House staff, members of Congress, Fox News personalities and other notable conservatives are getting harassed and thrown out of restaurants. A random 16-year-old in San Antonio, Texas, was assaulted in a restaurant last week for wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.

Democrats have now convinced a good portion of their base that Russia stole the 2016 election and that Russia is trying to steal the 2018 election as well. In fact, some Democratic consultants are already warning that Democratic leaders may be suppressing their vote by saying Russia is going to steal the election.

Democrats are increasingly vocal about the idea that they think Republicans in Congress are doing Russia’s bidding. They view Donald Trump as an authoritarian figure waiting for just the right moment to suspend elections and impose a dictatorship. Hollywood Director Josh Whedon declared merely considering Kavanaugh’s nomination would create the first American dictatorship.

On Independence Day, “The First Purge” came out in theaters. The movie posits that the Nation Association backed a coup that put a dictatorship in power in the United States. Democrats consider the group a terrorist organization that Republicans show fealty to. They also believe Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a terrorist organization that should be abolished.

In the 24 hours after President Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared Kavanaugh would be “a destructive tool on a generation of progress for workers, women, LGBTQ people, communities of color [and] families” and that he would “radically reverse the course of American justice [and] democracy.” Yale law students declared people would die because of Kavanaugh. NBC News journalists spread, as news, a false rumor that Anthony Kennedy negotiated his retirement contingent on Kavanaugh’s appointment.

All of this is just hyperbole designed to motivate a political base and fund raise. But this is the world in which a man attempted the mass assassination of Republican members of Congress inspired by similar rhetoric. And things have gotten far worse since then.

To believe Democrats, voting no longer matters because Russia is stealing the elections; Republicans are doing the bidding of a terrorist group; another terrorist group runs part of the government forcibly separating children from their parents; Republicans are letting corporations kill Americans; Anthony Kennedy is ensuring Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court to protect the NRA, Christian fundamentalists, and a president who should otherwise be indicted; and the system is rigged.

The Democrats’ call to action is “stop this.”

How long before more Hodgkinsons believe the dystopian picture painted by the Democrats? The Russians are in charge, voting no longer matters, the system is rigged, and the Supreme Court is now a tool of a would-be dictator.

It is only a matter of time before “stop this” leads to “shoot them.” [sure glad we have more guns, and know how to use them ~ AmmoLand]

When the communist Democrats like Maxine , Nancy , Chuck , Diane and Barack start calling for their snowflake followers to get in people’s face and cause problems they better realize they should not start something they can’t finish and I can see the day not too far away that things in this county are going to get very crazy and very ugly

It is refreshing to hear communication between enlightened and like minded patriots. I am deeply concerned about the direction and rhetoric regarding these mindwashed liberals but I took an oath to defend my country from ANY threats be they foreign or domestic and there are teeth in my resolve.

eaglesnester

we have all the guns and know how to use em. The left does not know the muzzle from the buttstock, you know the shoulder thing that goes up. They know not what they do.

Wild Bill

Maybe the Trump administration will realize that they need to carry their own firearms. Then the members of the Trump administration will attain a more through understanding of our Second Amendment enumerated Civil Rights. Then it might occur to the members of the Trump administration that we, their supporters, might need firearms, too.
Go ahead socialist, anarchist democrat thugs do your damnedest.

hippybiker

They start this Sh*t down here where I live and the Gators are gonna be eating well. Chomp, Chomp!

Hillary, bill, holder and most of the DEMOCRATS are followers of Saul Alinsky and please check hs list of methods, It is all there line by line. These criminals need to be prosecuted NOW.

Timothy Votaw

Thomas Jefferson, 1787: “…the tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” A written comment regarding rebellion in the freshly-minted United States. Apparently Mr. Jefferson’s insight has relevance now as much as then. We cannot abide the type of anarchism, the raw and deeply misinformed mania as we see from the fools such as ‘Antifa’, the media, and the bought-and-sold members of Congress – Schumer, Pelosi and their ilk. In practical terms, we peaceful and lawful citizens who abide by our nation’s founding principles and laws,… Read more »

Very eloquently put, Sir. My grandad was a WWII combat veteran seeing action in North Africa, Italy and France. When I was a teenager he used to talk about America’s ‘next civil war’. He wouldn’t recognize what we’ve become. Or maybe he would…

Our present situation could not have been assessed any better. May I have your permission to re-post so others might wake up to how bad it really is? Some I speak with seem to be of the opinion this will go away with time. I agree with you…this has to be addressed and rest assured it will be by whatever means necessary before this country can move forward.

I imagine that a billboard advocating KILLING OF ANTI GUNNERS would generate all manner of problems, so,how come this billboard seemingly generates no interest from the Law Enforcement Community, or has it?

Vanns40

All of this lunacy, of course, continues to reverberate through mainstream America like a plague of locusts. The average American doesn’t understand it, doesn’t like it and may well show their distaste at the voting booth in the midterms.

Let the games begin!

I sure hope the left hasn’t been slipping in military advisors from Syria, Afghanistan, and etc. The deep stste hasn’t been smuggling in shipping containers of weapons. Pre-positioning them both all over the country. They are such liars.

rickychicken

Where have you been, the containers have been here. Came in through the west coast.

Sam W

I have my eyes open been watching two of them. Two blocks from my house. Unsuccessful business with two out behind, nobody pays attention. Bills always paid never going out of business hardly a single customer.

Scotty Gunn

Cartels have been working with ISIS. They have smuggled lots of ISIS guys and weapons in. Don’t think that if we start fighting with each other, that outsiders will just munch popcorn and watch.

Country Boy

what did you think the 35,000+ islmamists obama let into the USA during his 8 yrs were for ?

Aaron Walker

This whole thing starts the day you send your kids to kindergarten. They start to indoctrinate the kids right there and as parents we should be attending school board meetings and getting involved to stop this from happening. They teach things like this group or that group is protected buy law. When in all reality we the people are supposed to be protected equally under the law! Not special treatment because of your skin color or sexual orientation. If kids grow up being taught crap , they don’t realize the truth and can’t tell when they are being used as… Read more »

I am 73. My mother said this when I was in school. Until parents take responsibility there will be no change.

Sam W

YES, I work at a school they are indeed indoctrination centers now days.

Resist 45 is an example of these people trespassing on private property to covey there message with graffiti, once again breaking the law with No consequences.

If the democrats are so afraid of the Russians why did Obama and Clinton plus Kerry sell one fourth of the countries Uranium to the Russians, that’s what you use in a Nuclear Bombs.
I haven’t heard anyone answer that question, we need to know why.

Sam W

Disregard this above comment it sruck in my browser and re entered in the wrong spot.

Sam W

Haven’t you figured out yet? The democrats are colluding with the Russians they are trying to keep attention away from their deals by accusing the republicans.

Wild Bill

The Southern Poverty Law Center (hereinafter SPLC) gets paid to label other groups and individuals as hate groups and racists. The SPLC has no other product to sell.

DaveW

Just like the ACLU does to destroy the principles which the nation is founded upon.

Wild Bill

@DaveW, Yep, the ACLU was started by to card carrying communists.

kal

To all you loony /brain rotted liberals: Some people have guns and backhoes. Be advised, you will attack the wrong person at some point. That person will then make America great. USA!

EAM

Make sure you keep a couple of spare bags of lime in the garage. Keeps the smell down when you bury the bodies!

Clint

And lime…keep lots of lime…

Roger Jerry

I wouldn’t say that Hodgkinson knew “exactly” what he was doing. He was a terrible marksman, and evidently unfamiliar with his rifle, and that’s a good thing. However, Don McDougall’s comment on his strategic intention is very interesting. Also, I agree with Erickson’s idea that the extreme rhetoric will only make similar tragedies more likely.

Jim Hovater

In addition to our EDCs, our yearly vacation to the beach this year saw me packing an AR and (7) loaded Pmags in with our luggage, cooler, and beach umbrella. THAT, folks, is where ‘we are’ as a country, courtesy of liberal Democrats.

Herb T

Notice that democrats actually commit many of the crimes of which they accuse Republicans. Clinton Russian collusion? Obama Russian collusion; obamacare ruins best medial system in the world. Clinton and obama pathological liars and traitors allowing foreign governments access to American classified information? Perish the thought – wink, wink.

Don McDougall

You’re wrong. The “ball park shooter” was not insane. His work Brent was to kill enough GOP house members to make Pelosi speaker and to let he begin articles of impeachment. He knew exactly what he was doing.
